Possible to purchase PCV line clips?

So I took my PCV off yesterday to check it out and try to clean it a little and I broke one of the clips that hold the lines on. Circled in red in this pic (not my car):


Any way to purchase just these clips? I'm guessing maybe not without buying the whole line assembly? And if not should I be worried? It seems to stay on pretty well because of the brackets holding the lines.

Also, what does the vent line with the green arrow do? I have an aftermarket intake and it doesn't fit snugly. Should I put a hose clamp or some RTV on it so it doesn't vibrate loose?

Local junkyard, maybe? GL. The little things are always the biggest PITA.

Good to know. Like I said it seems to fit pretty well without the clip, hopefully it will hold. The clips don't make them any more snug anyway, they just prevent them coming off.
The line you are pointing to with the green arrow is actually a filtered air line going from the intake TO the valve cover (not venting to the intake). It is where the fresh air is introduced in the PCV system. It would be a good idea to ensure it fits well and is leak-free
Ok thanks. I'll figure out some way to seal it better. It fits fine, but the port on the intake tube (Cold Air Inductions) is just a bit smaller so it's not snug and I could see it working its way loose over time.

It is easier just to replace the line than mess around with the clips. There are alternative, more creative solutions that could clean up PCV, but I didn't feel like messing around with it at the time (plus the line is cheap).

You can replace that entire line with fuel hose and clamps if you wanted to.
